I have the solution scripts mailing list and, for security, I tried typing .+ as an address to remove from the list.(I had nobody but me on the list) Well, the results were as I had guessed they would be. The entire database was removed! I know php has a function called magic_quotes()(or something like that) that put slashes before quotation marks. I need something like that for regexes, except do it for all special characters. Thanks.
